" The difference, the very great difference, be. tween the policiof our Government And that of the King of Sweden has been, that the former ltas,with the greatest care endeavoured to secure to its people the blessings of peace; while the latter appears - only to have had for his objea to sacrifice the blOckt of his, subjects, bring On the calamities of war, and to 'lay waste their peaceable' habitations. All see with .surprise the King of Sweden, whose constant rest „.. lessness, and whose false policy has extended the theatre of war so far to the North, yet represents, himself as the Sovereign who had offered peace and tranquillity to the Baltic and ith Coasts. But he has rendered his love for petite too _portliest for such an offer to be confided in. 'frm" After having made every exertion, fof a series if years, to become Involved in a• war, and having . at'length obtained his objeCi, and shewo that he knew how to enter into a war inconsiderately, and how to maintain it with folly and obstinacy after he had been compelled . entirely. to abandon the first theatre of his war,. it was ,believed that true po liCy and regard for the Welfare of his subjeas would have induced him to live in-peace and good under standing with his neighbours, and to find a refuge in the patience of a magnanimous people, against . a storm which he himself had raised. His sense of danger tin the ono hand, . aad orhirk.ohleness on the•otlier, Might probably inspire hint with the wish' td see the Baltic maintained free froth a Foreign Fleet.. " While in Germahy he wished to set bounds to the victories of the. Emperor NAMLEON, and used every endeavour to persuade ditKrent Courts that this was his obje&, nor wou!d he pledge himself tbr the tranquillity and security of the 13allib from English Ships ? Can we Once more confidence in one of these professions than the other ? Can it be required 'of: Dentbark to trust the pacific promises of Eng., 40. . land t Will they be held more sacred than those' given last-yeatiat' the very moment when an attack was intended ? " A Sbvereign can have little' respect for the truth, who can say to his nation, whose danger and sufferings are the only consequences. of an allianee : with England, I have concluded an alliance with England to obtain the means of defence for Sweden !' Was. Sweden then in danger . ? Who threatened Sweden with an attack ? Against whom was this protPetion end aid necessary ? Every Swede . of sense knows, as well as all Europe, that ail his losses, and all the dangers that threaten him, , are the consequence of this alliances with Eng land, which no self-defence rendered necessary. Had this alliance not existed, Sweden would still have possessed Pomerania, would stil.have possesied, Finland, and the Cowry would not have been 11 prey. to : famine > and all the misery. which , War, brings with it. Were all the offers actually rnade', to • the King of Swedeit, which he has 140114: were made; England is much indebted to -hirn , for not accepting them ; but the Swedish na . tion is not. And if it were prudence not to accept some of these offers, it is to be regretted time they could not induce him to depart frotwan alliance that Must certainly have the most dettrualve conse titsences to his country. :" Had the King of, Sweden,seen, the true interest of himself and his country, the North would have' *preserved peace. : Sweden would have still poaseised Pomerania and Finland—Denmark .her Fleet, and. .tranquillity---arid England her honour. • All these lasses are thp consequences of the policy of the King of Sweden. 'How often has Sweden been warned by the Powers of Europe.? Had we received such warning, our Fleets' would have been in.safety, and . ready, if necessary, to guard, in conjunCtion with our Northern Brethren, the safety of our seas from the Tyrants of the Ocean." Though. the resumed Debate upon the Carnatic . Quettion, last night) the ki3use of Commons, dill not plit the subjea at rest, but is to lead to further discussion, yet enough was discoverable of the feel ings of the Members to spew, that the spirit of party is not likely to influence the decision of the Represen tative Body of the people, and that it will a& upon those great . principles which become tile dignity of its character. The • zeal with which Mr. W.ELLESLBY POLE vindicated the charadter of his Noble Brother, last ,night, did honour to his feelings; but whi t he Said was evidently didated by an anxious de sire for the fullest investigation ) as well as animated by those feelings which adorn human nature, Mr. SHIRIDAN, however his mind may be warped on the subjeCt in question, treated the laudable emotions which sauated Mr. Poz.z with rasped.
